-
100 %Increase in associate productivity
Challenge
- Inefficient operations and limited control: multiple 3PL facilities with inconsistent technology, made it difficult for Ariat to control operations and end-customer experience.
- Physically demanding work environment: employees were strained by physical labor, walking up to 22 miles a day and lifting bulky boxes.
- Manual processes and high SKU velocity: facilities were plagued by inefficiencies due to manual processes and high SKU velocity, leading to overnight work to configure efficient throughput sequences.
Solution
- Gained operational efficiency and control: Infios WM provided a centralized, flexible, and scalable solution that allows Ariat to optimize operations and have full control over their distribution hub.
- Improved working conditions with reduced physical labor: Infios WM integration with Geekplus Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) significantly reduced physical demands on employees, decreasing steps from 40,000 to 7,000 per day.
- Enhanced accuracy and productivity: ease of use combined with cross-checking at picking stations increases accuracy and productivity, leading to more satisfied customers.
- Simplified training and rapid deployment boosts morale: an intuitive user interface, streamlined processes and simplified training accelerated implementation and empowered employees.
